Wisdom Wednesday

Happy hump day! This past weekend my mom, sister, Aunt Glenda and Aunt Amy started to clean out Mama's room. They found so. much. stuff. She had pictures galore, most of the cards she had received in her life (she lived to be 101) and many other things. I think it is so cool, because they found things that she had back in the day. They found a "P" card that I am assuming you put by your drink when you went to the bathroom. If only it was that easy these days and you didn't have to worry about someone drugging your drink. Anyway, they found a newspaper clipping that Mama kept and that is my wisdom for today because it is perfect. If you want to read more about Mama you can read here.

 YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW

There are two days in every week that we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension. 

One is YESTERDAY, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed, forever beyond our control. 

All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. Nor can we erase a single word we've said - yesterday is gone! 

The other day we shouldn't worry about it TOMORROW, with its impossible adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our control. 

Tomorrow's sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds - but it will rise. And until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn. 

This leaves only one day - TODAY. Any person can fight that battles of just one day. It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break down. 

It is not the experience of today that drives people mad - it is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us, therefore, live one day at a time! 

I love this! My dad always tells me,"Worry about what needs to be done today and tomorrow will take care of itself." He is one smart man! Make your to-do list, take one thing at a time and get to it sista!! :-) I have a super long to-do list when I get home from work today, so this article was a perfect find. 

Tackle what needs to be done today and don't worry about yesterday or tomorrow. I hope you have the best day!! 

Love,
